After being awed by the Conservatory and Gardens inside the Bellagio, we stepped outside to see the world-renowned Fountains of Bellagio water show. It has become one of the most iconic spectacles on the Las Vegas strip and attracts millions of people every year.
1,200 water cannons shoot water that dance and sways to choreographed music from Frank Sinatra to Madonna. My first experience 12 years ago, I listened to Lee Greenwood sing "God bless the USA". Yes, I did get a lump in my throat!
The best time to visit the Fountains is after the sun goes down to make it possible to see the effects of 4,500 programmed lights.
It takes more than 30 engineers to maintain the Fountains, they are all dive certified because of the under water work.
People are often emotionally struck by the romantic setting of the water show and wedding proposals are frequent.
The fountains are a required stop when visiting Las Vegas. Stunning, visual and emotional experience every time.
